Gravitational collapse of depletion-induced colloidal gels.

Soft matter

Harich R, Blythe TW, Hermes M, Zaccarelli E, Sederman AJ, Gladden LF, Poon WC.
PMID: 27001686
Soft Matter. 2016 May 11;12(19):4300-8. doi: 10.1039/c5sm02651b.

We study the ageing and ultimate gravitational collapse of colloidal gels in which the interparticle attraction is induced by non-adsorbing polymers via the depletion effect. The gels are formed through arrested spinodal decomposition, whereby the dense phase arrests into...

Comparison of Approaches in Estimating Interaction and Quadratic Effects of Latent Variables.

Multivariate behavioral research

Lee SY, Song XY, Poon WY.
PMID: 26759934
Multivariate Behav Res. 2004 Jan 01;39(1):37-67. doi: 10.1207/s15327906mbr3901_2.

Various approaches using the maximum likelihood (ML) option of the LISREL program and products of indicators have been proposed to analyze structural equation models with non-linear latent effects on the basis of Kenny and Judd's formulation. Recently, some methods...

Risk factors for seizures and antiepileptic drug-associated adverse effects in high-grade glioma patients: A multicentre, retrospective study in Hong Kong.

Woo PY, Chan DT, Chan KY, Wong WK, Po YC, Kwok JC, Poon WS.
PMID: 26097495
Surg Pract. 2015 Feb;19(1):2-8. doi: 10.1111/1744-1633.12102. Epub 2015 Jan 11.

AIM: The aim of this present study was to determine the frequency, as well as risk factors, for seizures and antiepileptic drug (AED)-associated adverse effects among high-grade glioma (HGG) patients.PATIENTS AND METHODS: A multicentre, retrospective study of adult Chinese...

Imaging of solitary pulmonary nodule-a clinical review.

Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery

Sim YT, Poon FW.
PMID: 24404446
Quant Imaging Med Surg. 2013 Dec;3(6):316-26. doi: 10.3978/j.issn.2223-4292.2013.12.08.

Current widespread use of cross-sectional imaging has led to exponential rise in detection of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs). Whilst large numbers of these are benign 'incidentalomas', lung cancers presenting as SPNs are often early disease, which have good prognosis....

Copy number variation analysis based on AluScan sequences.

Journal of clinical bioinformatics

Yang JF, Ding XF, Chen L, Mat WK, Xu MZ, Chen JF, Wang JM, Xu L, Poon WS, Kwong A, Leung GK, Tan TC, Yu CH, Ke YB, Xu XY, Ke XY, Ma RC, Chan JC, Wan WQ, Zhang LW, Kumar Y, Tsang SY, Li S, Wang HY, Xue H.
PMID: 25558350
J Clin Bioinforma. 2014 Dec 05;4(1):15. doi: 10.1186/s13336-014-0015-z. eCollection 2014.

BACKGROUND: AluScan combines inter-Alu PCR using multiple Alu-based primers with opposite orientations and next-generation sequencing to capture a huge number of Alu-proximal genomic sequences for investigation. Its requirement of only sub-microgram quantities of DNA facilitates the examination of large...

Tuning colloidal gels by shear.

Soft matter

Koumakis N, Moghimi E, Besseling R, Poon WC, Brady JF, Petekidis G.
PMID: 25962849
Soft Matter. 2015 Jun 21;11(23):4640-8. doi: 10.1039/c5sm00411j.

Using a powerful combination of experiments and simulations we demonstrate how the microstructure and its time evolution are linked with mechanical properties in a frustrated, out-of-equilibrium, particle gel under shear. An intermediate volume fraction colloid-polymer gel is used as...

A local influence approach to identifying multiple multivariate outliers.

The British journal of mathematical and statistical psychology

Poon WY, Lew SF, Poon YS.
PMID: 11109707
Br J Math Stat Psychol. 2000 Nov;53:255-73. doi: 10.1348/000711000159321.

We make use of Cook's local influence approach and its recent modification by Poon and Poon to develop measures for detecting multivariate outliers. The motivation and the foundation of the theory are geometrical and are different from classical approaches;...

Phase separation in star-polymer-colloid mixtures.

Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics

Dzubiella J, Jusufi A, Likos CN, von Ferber C, Löwen H, Stellbrink J, Allgaier J, Richter D, Schofield AB, Smith PA, Poon WC, Pusey PN.
PMID: 11461208
Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys. 2001 Jul;64(1):010401. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevE.64.010401. Epub 2001 Jun 21.

We examine the demixing transition in star-polymer-colloid mixtures for star arm numbers f=2,6,16,32 and different star-polymer-colloid size ratios 0.18< or =q< or =0.50. Theoretically, we solve the thermodynamically self-consistent Rogers-Young integral equations for binary mixtures using three effective pair...

Phase transition kinetics in colloid-polymer mixtures at triple coexistence: kinetic maps from free-energy landscapes.

Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics

Renth F, Poon WC, Evans RM.
PMID: 11580334
Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys. 2001 Sep;64(3):031402. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevE.64.031402. Epub 2001 Aug 30.

We report a detailed experimental study of the kinetics of separation into coexisting gas, liquid, and crystal phases in a colloid-polymer mixture. Distinct kinetic regimes are identified, and interpreted in terms of the underlying "free-energy landscape" of the system.

Phase behavior and crystallization kinetics of poly-12-hydroxystearic-coated polymethylmethacrylate colloids.

Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics

Auer S, Poon WC, Frenkel D.
PMID: 12636644
Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys. 2003 Feb;67(2):020401. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevE.67.020401. Epub 2003 Feb 26.

Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) colloids sterically stabilized by a layer of chemically grafted poly-12-hydroxystearic (PHSA) are widely used in experiments as model hard spheres. However, due to the coating, the interaction between particles is slightly soft. Here we report a numerical...
